The only show in Singapore dedicated
to the LED/OLED industry!

The world around us rapidly changing; driverless cars, drones, robotics,
artificial intelligence, virtual reality, 3-d printing, cashless shopping, the
list goes on and on…and if you thought that lighting is spared from the
IoT onslaught, think again!
The lighting industry and lighting design profession are on the verge of
becoming irrelevant if not, relegated even further down the hierarchy of
importance if we don’t accept that the lighting functionality is changing.
The best way to understand what is happening is to use the mobile
phone as a metaphor. Ten years ago, the mobile phone was just that, a
mobile phone with some texting functions. Today the mobile phone is
everything else, you can video chat, take pictures, surf the internet, find
your way through maps, pay your bills, get your boarding pass, translate
foreign languages, play games, there are virtually apps for anything you
can imagine…and oh yes, it is still a mobile phone…!
Lighting is poised to go the same way. While LED technology has
already made the lighting systems of today a digital hub, it is not difficult
to imagine that in a few years’ time most of the functions of a lighting
point will have nothing to do with lighting. Bluetooth communication,
beacon networking, sensor driven data measurements, etc., will soon
take up the majority of the lighting point’s functions.
In order to understand how most commercial decisions are made, those
by developers, those by our clients or the end-user, it is important to
understand that nearly all decisions a driven by two key factors only.
One is how do I minimise costs, the other is how does it improve the
human experience. It’s that simple…
Let’s elaborate a bit further on the first one…costs. In lighting, energy
saving has long been the leading sales pitch in the lighting industry,
but really, now that everyone is using LED technology the savings are
becoming marginal and mainly achieved through smart(er) lighting
controls. With presence detection and daylight sensors the usage
of lighting (read energy consumption) can be made more efficient.
Continuing the thought from a lighting perspective, the second point,
the human experience, is being addressed by tuneable lighting and
other “human centric” applications. The problem is that the lighting
industry is caught within their own little fantasy lighting world…
To further optimise costs and improve the human experience we need
to step out of our little lighting world and look what is going on outside
and understand where the real costs are and how better experiences
are created…and as it turns out, that has little to do with lighting…
Developers and real estate big boys around the world have since
long realised where the cost saving is and that is in managing space
utilisation and human capital.
To put things in proportion, real estate developers like JLL and CBRE
found that for every 1 dollar saved on energy, 10 dollars can be saved
through more efficient usage of space and 100 dollars can be saved on
human capital (people efficiency). That is big…! That is where the focus
is and this is where the IoT and data analytics come in.
Today’s sensor, beacon and Bluetooth technologies can accurately
measure where people are in space, measure environmental statistics
(temperature, humidity, air quality, etc) and facilitate interaction and
communication for way finding and data transactions. This is what the
IoT is… connecting everything with everybody at any place in real time
with the aim to reduce costs and improve the human experience.
Let’s take an office space as example. If occupancy of meeting rooms
is measured and mapped you may find out that one or two meeting

8

rooms are seldomly used, so why have it? Reconfiguring (or reducing)
the space to more efficient usage will save on space costs (rent for
instance). Many corporate offices have un-used desks. It is not surprising
that today co-working spaces are taking off like a rocket, exactly for the
same reason. More efficient use of space with a reduction of space costs
as a result.
By understanding, planning and coordinating events, tasks and
activities, people’s time can also be made much more efficient, more
productive. Just think of wasted time in meetings, waiting for people,
having problems setting up the computer, projection equipment or tele
conference facility. In hotels for instance, if housekeeping knows which
rooms are occupied, they can go direct to the empty rooms for cleaning,
rather then having to knock on each door seperately first. Understanding
customer behaviour in retail and commercial outlets will also greatly
enhance customer satisfaction and sales! Similar applications can be
done for exteriors.
So, if all this is happening using our lighting points, we should know, don’t
you think? I am already faced with projects where “smart” consultants
are issuing me plans with lighting points showing what these points
will be measuring with their sensors, what the WiFi coverage will be, etc!
In this scenario I have been moved down the pegging line to become
just an executor of someone else’s design! My point is that traditional
lighting design is slowly becoming a small element in the scheme of
things. The entry point for lighting design will soon no longer be at
architect’s design level as decisions about IoT and data infra-structures
are being taken way earlier, much further downstream…
With our Lighting Design of Things (LDoT) platform we move back to
being in control of lighting design by becoming the facilitator for the
integration of IoT and data analytics into lighting! At the end of the day it
is still a lighting point, we still need to create mood and ambiences and
make sure we comply to lighting standards and building codes, only an
experienced lighting designer should be doing that!

NICK GLEN BALANCES COMEDY AND DRAMA IN YOUNG
FRANKENSTEINWITH CHAUVET PROFESSIONAL

T

he New Mel Brooks Musical Young
Frankenstein
(more
commonly
called
Young
Frankenstein)
has
been a popular staple in regional
theatres across the globe since its
2007 Broadway debut. At a recent
production of the musical comedy
at the Devonport Entertainment &
Convention Centre, designer Nick
Glen supported the fantastical story
of an American doctor who finds
his body parts in Transylvania with a
lighting design that smoothly balanced
comedic and dramatic elements.
Glen, of Nick Glen Lighting Design,
was aided in his effort by a collection
of CHAUVET Professional Maverick
MK2 Spot and COLORdash ParQuad 18 fixtures, supplied by Show
Systems Australia. “The performance
features of the Mavericks and colors
of the COLORdashes allowed me to
create a range of looks,” he said. “We
needed this diversity to support the
show, both as a comedy and as a more
straightforward story.”
Hung from upstage and midstage
electrics, the 12 Maverick MK2 Spot
fixtures in the rig were controlled
wirelessly through CHAUVET DJ D-Fi
Hub units. The 440W LED fixtures
were moved throughout the show, their
quiet operation eliminating concerns
about distractive noise.
Drawing on the wide beam angle (13°
to 37°) of the Maverick MK2 Spot, Glen
had them fill a variety of roles during
the freewheeling musical comedy, from
creating broad crisscrossing patterns
for show-tune-style dance numbers
to more focused down spots for
dramatic moments. The dual rotating
gobo wheels of the Maverick MK2 Spot
also came into play, as Glen relied on
speckled gobo patterns to underscore
a lurking sense of danger during some
of the “monster” scenes.
The Maverick fixture’s variable frost
feature that allowed it to transform
from a spot to a wash helped Glen
convey a variety of moods. “The
frost feature is absolutely top as far
as I’m concerned,” he said. “Being
able to quickly flip between wash and
spot effects was incredibly useful for
particular scenes within the show that
called for sharp changes in energy,
such as the musical numbers.”
Color also played a key role in
conveying different moods. Glen set an
ominous, but playful tone by colorizing
scenic elements with murky shades of
greens and purples, dark yellows and
similar hues. At other times, he lifted
the mood with bolder, brighter colors.

10

To create this color-scape, he relied on the CMY +CTO color mixing capabilities
of his Maverick MK2 Spots, as well as the eight RGBA COLORdash Par-Quad 18
fixtures in his rig.
“It’s great to have such faithful color representation on stage,” said Glen.
“Moreover, we didn’t have to sacrifice any brightness for it! Of course, I was also
most appreciative of the versatility of my rig. I used the MK2 Spot to create all
manner of looks, from very soft and subtle textures on stage to full on energy.
In a musical such as Young Frankenstein, having this visual flexibility is truly
paramount.”

FARO BARCELONA HAS RECEIVED THE PRESTIGIOUS REDDOT
AWARD IN THE PRODUCT DESIGN 2018 CATEGORY FOR THE
HOOK LIGHT FIXTURE

F

aro Barcelona’s Hook model was given the Reddot
Design Award at the latest edition of these renowned
international awards that are given by an independent jury
made up of 40 reputed experts from around the world. With
a total of 48 categories, the Reddot Awards are divided into
the following modalities: Product Design, Communication
Design and Design Conception.
Hook constitutes Faro Barcelona’s most Ecological and
Socially Conscious project. Produced entirely in Spain from
recycled bottle caps, its design optimised every phase of the
lifecycle of its components in order to reduce environmental
impact. Its casings are made of recycled polypropylene,
a sustainable plastic that is also present in the diffusor to
encourage recycling. The result is a light fixture that is totally
PVC-free, a material present in most cables and plugs.
Faro Barcelona’s social commitment with this project is
evidenced not only by the fact that it employs disabled
people from Fundació El Marseme to assemble Hook, but
also that it works with the NGO Mary’s Meals España,
donating €15.60 from each light fixture, which is the cost of
feeding one child for an entire school year.
For Hook’s design, Faro Barcelona this time commissioned
OiKo Design Office, the design studio headed by Salva
Codinach and José López-Aguilar, engineers and designers
who prioritise ecodesign, sustainability and the search for
materials to minimise environmental impact.

ork in offices is changing and with it the design of
corresponding rooms and workstations. Key terms
such as desk-sharing and co-working point the way: fixed
concepts and structures belong to the past and modern
offices score with high levels of flexibility and diversely
designed work environments. Zones for various uses,
ranging from concentrated individual work to creative
teamwork, productive meetings and relaxing breaks, also
need to differ in their atmosphere. Such new demands
can only be fulfilled with equally innovative approaches in
terms of lighting. ERCO has achieved this with the new
Skim downlight for track that brings together the benefits of
spotlights and downlights.
A New Class Of Lighting Tools
The first thing noticed is the unmistakably smooth design,
enabling these new types of luminaires to blend into highly
diverse interiors in the form of technical details. The flat
cast aluminium housing accommodates two LED lens optics
that are characteristic for the Skim range. The luminaire is
on an ERCO track adapter which is rotatable through 360°,
enabling flexible positioning to suitable track. In this way the
luminaires offer the neat appearance and visual comfort of
downlight illumination without the complexity of recessing
into ceilings. Added to this is the freedom to reconfigure the
lighting at any time if the office layout or room use changes.
Trusted Lighting Technology Intelligently Applied
Various light distributions are needed in office applications

according to the specific use of a room zone. Skim downlights
for track with the rotationally symmetrical characteristic
wide flood (beam angle approx. 70°) ensure standardcompliant illumination of VDU workstations with UGR < 19.
For other areas such as foyers and cafeterias, the extra
wide flood (beam angle approx. 95°) is a comfortable and
especially cost-efficient alternative for uniform illumination
with wide distances between the luminaires. In a room
with a ceiling height of 3m and a wide luminaire matrix of
2.4m for example, lighting designers can achieve uniform
horizontal illuminance exceeding 300lx – more light with a
few luminaires.
Further flexibility is provided with the axially symmetrical
light distribution oval flood (beam angle approx. 95° x 50°).
This enables not only random positioning of luminaires on

11

lighting in the news |corporate

the track and rotation through 360°, but the lens optics
themselves and therefore the axes of the oval light beam
can also be rotated through 90°. Thus circulation zones
such as corridors can be effectively illuminated and defined
islands of light created in a room, e.g. above seating areas
or meeting tables.
A Wide Selection For Lighting Designers
In addition to various light distributions, with Skim downlights
for track designers can select between two wattage levels
with 1260lm or 2460lm luminous flux and between the
various LED light colours contained in the ERCO luminaire
systematics: warm white 3000K Ra≥90 and neutral white
4000K Ra≥80, and upon request warm white 2700K Ra≥90
and neutral white 4000K Ra≥90. Housings are available in
either white, black or silver and include control gear that is
optionally switchable, phase dimmable or DALI dimmable.
Phase dimmable models have a potentiometer for configuring
settings directly on the housing. In addition to the diverse
applications of office lighting, Skim downlights for track are
of course also suitable for creative retail architecture and
public building lighting concepts

SEEN IN THE BEST LIGHT: TUNABLE WHITE LIGHTING FOR
BUDDING INTERIOR DESIGNERS
use the situation as an opportunity to
install innovative pioneering lighting”,
explained Professor Björn Schrader,
senior lecturer and head of the
interdisciplinary Licht@hslu platform at
the Lucerne School of Engineering &
Architecture.

“T

unable White? – we’ve already got it!” That’s the proud boast of the
Lucerne School of Engineering & Architecture. There were several good
reasons why the School became an early adopter of the new lighting technology
with which the luminous flux and the colour temperature of the light can be
changed to suit demand. The Tunable White lighting was installed in the Interior
Design Studio. Thanks to appropriate LED light engines and associated control
technology from Tridonic, the colour temperature of the LED luminaires can be
smoothly adjusted between 3,000 kelvin (warm white) and 6,000 kelvin (cool
white). Preprogrammed colour temperature curves can also be selected and run.
From Too Little Light To Dynamic Light
Eight years ago the School of Engineering & Architecture at the University of
Lucerne set up a course in interior design and had a studio building constructed
specifically for the purpose. With its 70 workstations, a large presentation area
and an impressive collection of material, the building provides ideal facilities
for project work, modelling and lectures. There was just one problem, however.
The illuminance from the luminaires was too low for the demanding work in the
studio and had to be replaced. “It quickly became clear to us that we could

12

Tunable White For Human Centric
Lighting
It was not difficult to convince the
Facility Management of the University of
Lucerne about the merits of a Tunable
White solution because the university
is constantly having to address the
question of optimum lighting for the
various rooms and areas at its various
premises. “In recent times we have
received an increasing number of
research requests on this subject.
This was a good chance to set up a
pilot system”, he added. The requests
relate primarily to the possibility of
using Tunable White in connection with
Human Centric Lighting. This involves
simulating the changes in natural
daylight using changes in colour
temperatures and illuminance levels
in order to boost the well-being of the
people using the rooms.
The Interior Design Studio is now being
used for studies that can be integrated
in the students’ normal timetable and
their typical activities such as lectures,
coaching sessions and creative work.
The colour and intensity of the light
can be individually adjusted at any
time, or they can change gradually and
automatically throughout the day in a
preprogrammed sequence that can be
activated at the touch of a button.

Light As A Teaching Tool
Lighting solutions with Tunable White functionality will
feature in many areas of application in the near future.
Thanks to the system installed in the studio the interior
design students can have hands-on experience of the
effects that different qualities of light can have on the users
of a room. An initial bachelor thesis on “Human Centric
Lighting” has been produced at the commissioning stage
at the Institute for Building Technology and Energy. For the
budding interior designers a knowledge of the visual effects
of different light spectrums, in other words an appreciation
of the interplay between light, colour and texture, is
absolutely indispensable. The samples from the material
collection in the studio and the models produced by the
students themselves can be investigated under different
lighting conditions in terms of the atmosphere created and
the overall effect of the room. This process is a valuable
method for expanding the students’ skills and an important
didactic element within the bachelor course.
Technology Under The Ceiling
Linear pendant luminaires were chosen to provide the
illumination in the studio. Swiss luminaire manufacturer
MOOS licht ag slightly modified a standard luminaire by
adding an indirect component to the luminaire’s direct
lighting in order to emphasize the effect of the spatial
effect. The 32 luminaires are equipped with Tridonic’s linear
LED light engines (LLE) with Tunable White functionality.
Measuring 24 x 280 mm they deliver up to 3,500 or 6,000
lumen depending on type. Tridonic offers the LED modules
together with the associated LED driver as a precalibrated
PRE KIT. This ensures colour consistency among the LED
modules and high quality of light across the entire colour
temperature range from 3,000 to 6,000 kelvin.
The kits are impressive for their colour rendering index of
Ra > 90, fine LED binning (MacAdam 3) and the absolute
stability of the selected colour temperature throughout
the dimming range from 100% to 10%. The most recently
launched second generation Tunable White LLE PRE
KITs can even be dimmed from 100% to 3%, exclusively
through amplitude modulation. The drivers comply with
the IEEE1789:2015 standard and avoid disturbing flicker
phenomena. The colour location that has been precisely
defined in the kits is retained at all dimming levels thanks to
the use of DALI Device Type 8.
Technology In The Switching Cabinet
The basis for Tunable White is the combination of warm
white and cool white LEDs, with their light mixed in different
proportions. Smart LED drivers with a digital interface are
used to vary the proportions of the luminous fluxes from
the two types of LED and still be able to dim the overall
luminous flux. In this case, Device Type 8 DALI drivers are
used. They receive their control commands from Tridonic’s
connecDIM Gateway which forms the powerful interface
between the DALI universe and the internet (TCP/IP). This
means that switching and control commands can be sent
from appropriate apps on PCs and mobile devices. The
connecDIM Gateway then forwards these commands to the
relevant address as DALI commands. There are also apps
for PCs and tablets for configuring the lighting system and
programming lighting scenes. Alternatively, connecDIM
offers a cloud-based web interface.
The lighting in the Interior Design Studio can also be
operated conventionally. Standard pushbutton switches
have been incorporated via two DALI XC control modules
each with four freely programmable inputs. The system can
be expanded at any time with actuators and sensors to
provide additional lighting functions. Space for sensors is
already reserved in the luminaires.

ANONY IS THRILLED THAT HIGHWIRE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY
THE PUBLIC AND PROFESSIONALS

L

aunched at the 2018 Interior
Design Show (IDS) in Toronto,
ANONY’s Highwire pendant has been
well received by the public and design
professionals
alike.
Co-founders
Christian Lo and David Ryan are thrilled
with the positive response and plan to
expand their line.
Highwire is a gravitational balancing
act, created by tension between two
points and a weighted centre. Its
luminaries are composed of anodized,
machined aluminum and laser-cut
diffusers. These elegant, individuallyweighted disks rest on taught electrical
cables. By loading the cables with the
luminaries, the cables lightly trace
shapes in three-dimensional space,
allowing the fixture to frame any setting.
These shapes are further accentuated
by the light emanating from both sides
of each disk, which illuminates the
surrounding area and also the fixture
itself. Up to five luminaries can be
added to a single power drop.
Highwire has been recognized with the
2018 Darc Awards ‘Best Decorative
Chandelier’ award, the 2018 Azure
Awards ‘People’s Choice in Lighting’
award, and most recently the 2018 L
A M P ‘Emerging Designers’ award.
Highwire was also featured in the Aya
Kitchen Booth at IDS 2018, which won
a Silver Award for its designers U31.

SWISS HELICOPTER IS BREAKING NEW GROUND WITH THE HELP
OF ZUMTOBEL GROUP SERVICES (ZGS) BY RELYING ON LIGHT
AS A SERVICE

W

ith 14 locations, Swiss Helicopter AG is Switzerland’s
leading helicopter company. As well as classic
transport and passenger flights, Swiss Helicopter also offers
sightseeing flights, which give customers the chance to
experience the Swiss alpine landscape from above. Above
all, Swiss Helicopter stands for Swiss precision. In order to
stay true to the company’s mission, the Bern-Belp site has
decided to modernize the lighting in its hangar.
The new lighting solution should help take some of the strain
out of the challenging work employees carry out on the
machines, as well as providing them with improved visibility
and therefore higher levels of safety. To make the lighting
renovation as straightforward as possible, Swiss Helicopter
AG opted for the NOW light contracting service offered by
ZGS. As part of a flexible service contract, ZGS will fully
cater to Swiss Helicopter’s lighting requirements for a fixed
monthly rate. The helicopter company will therefore continue
to benefit from the latest lighting technology, including all
installation and maintenance tasks, for the duration of the
contract.
The aim of the upgrade was to provide more light in the
almost-650-square-metre hangar and to distribute it
in the best way possible for the work carried out on the
helicopters. The 6.75-metre-high ceilings posed something
of a challenge here. However, it wasn’t just the height
that proved problematic: during planning, ZGS also had
to take into account the ceiling-mounted crane track used
to lift heavier machine parts from A to B. ZGS carried out
a lighting assessment to determine where new lighting
should be installed. The optimised solution enables higher
illuminance with less level of power (3192 kW and 550 lux
instead of 6887 kW and 280 lux). The solution uses the
proven TECTON C industrial luminaire by Zumtobel, as well
as a light control unit for improved ease of operation.
“We opted for the NOW concept from Zumtobel Group
Services, because this not only gives us modern and
improved lighting in our hangar, but also the long-term

16

support of an expert partner. A partner that will take care
of the upgrade in its entirety and guarantee us ideal lighting
conditions in the years to come”, says Markus Epp, Head of
the Base in Belp, about the decision in favour of ZGS.
From planning to project management through to after sales
service and annual maintenance, ZGS has taken on all tasks
relating to the upgrade and will act as general contractor.
The lighting solution will be monitored by way of regular
inspections to ensure it continues to operate in line with
the agreed service during the contract term of 36 months.
There is also a further bonus for the helicopter base:
thanks to the exchange of the inefficient, old light sources,
Zumtobel Group Services calculated that the customer
would also benefit from incentives amounting to CHF 3000.
The potential savings determined during the planning phase
were sufficient to obtain approval for the Optimo Plus 2015
programme as part of the “ProKilowatt” incentive initiative
run by the Swiss federal government.

ne of America’s top lighting designers for television,
Victor Fable, knows how to make top acts look good
on a tight schedule. For AT&T Audience Network Music
Concerts series performances, the designer lights up to
18 different acts over a hectic six-day taping period in Los
Angeles.
The concert series are quite the challenge with artists
across all genres of music performing on two different
stages – a private studio stage and a club stage with
live audience. So far this year, Fable has lit two series
of shows, one taped in early March at Red Studios in
Hollywood and another taped in July at MBS Studios in El
Segundo. The musical performances, which also include
in-depth interviews, air Friday nights on DIRECTV, AT&T
U-verse and DIRECTV NOW.
Elation lighting fixtures have featured in AT&T Audience
Network Music Concerts the past few years and this year
the designer has turned to two of the company’s newest
LED moving heads to help differentiate looks – the fullfeatured Artiste Picasso™ and the compact DARTZ 360™.
Finding Ways To Customize Looks
Fable uses an overhead base truss lighting system as part
of the standard design for all performances yet needs
to find ways to customize looks for each artist on a very
tight schedule. Although the overhead system changes
little from performance to performance as time is limited,
the designer finds unique ways to make variations using
discreetly placed floor lights and finds other places to hide
luminaires. “You don’t see the overhead rig as much as
you see the lights in the lower part of the rig,” he explains,
“so that’s where the challenge lies. I try to find lights that
haven’t been used too many times on other shows and
like to mix automated lights with traditional film and movie
lights.”
Always up for a challenge, Fable finds ways to customize
each performance on an extremely tight schedule. There
are a lot of factors to consider and the designer does what
he can to accommodate each artist. “If the band sends a
set list with color signatures, I’ll incorporate it” he says.
“Another determining factor is the band set up and what
equipment they might bring. Sometimes they bring in their
own stuff and we have to think fast, work quick or work
around it. It’s very much something that comes up the
morning of the shoot or right before the band comes on.”
And, of course, there is an artist’s LD to interact with
although Fable doesn’t always know if they will be on
location. “You want to give them as much as you can,” he
says, although he admits with so many artists to deal with
there is little time for nuances and he often paints with big,
broad strokes. “The most important thing is trying to get
a good blend of different looks so when the show’s there
everybody feels like they got something that is special
and unique to them. The DARTZ are great to do that with
because they work well as a single light but you can cluster
them together and they look like an ACL bar. They were
crucial as floor units and because they’re not big they
would fit between things and not be standing out.”
DARTZ
The compact beam/spot DARTZ projects a powerful threedegree beam that is comparable to larger discharge lamp
fixtures but also houses an effects package that includes

two prisms and gobo projection capability. “I love the
DARTZ and have used it on a lot of shows,” Fable says.
“It’s a great little light and fills a hole for me. It’s a little
smaller than the Sharpy or the Platinum Extreme; it’s
lighter with a nice beam. You can cluster them together
and they do some really cool effects even without having to
use the 360-degree movement.” Fable says he didn’t use
the DARTZ’s 360 continuous rotation on any of the last 18
shows but did use it to add dynamic movement on a Stone
Temple Pilots performance during the first series of shows
earlier this year. “It’s a good light that makes some really
pretty pictures and when you manipulate the prism you get
a good beam spread.”
Picasso
On the July series taping, which included a performance
by KT Tunstall, Fable hung Elation’s new Artiste Picasso™
LED moving head and says they looked great. “They paint
beautiful pictures and are really bright. In fact, a couple
of people on the set didn’t know they were LED until we
told them,” he said. “It’s a good broad light you can use to
do a lot of different things. The colors are gorgeous, they
are rich, and the internal effects are good. And one thing I
absolutely love having is a wide zoom range for blowing out
gobos wide and soft.” Fable also praises the fixture’s CRI
adjustment filter, which worked well on camera. “I honestly
didn’t think it was going to look as good on camera as
it did so I was happy with that.” Part of Elation’s awardwinning, theatrical-grade Artiste series, the 23,000 lumen
Artiste Picasso houses a 620W cool white LED engine and
advanced optical system for a powerful, crisp output and
extremely uniform field of light.
The designer has used a slew of other Elation lights on
AT&T Audience Network Music Concert shows this year
(Satura Profile, Platinum SBX, Platinum FLX, Fuze Wash
120, Fuze Wash 350, and Platinum Beam Extreme) but
has a favorite lineup. “If I could choose an arsenal that
I would use on every show I think it would be the DARTZ
and Picasso working with the Fuze,” he says, adding that
he would throw in some Platinum Extremes for big punch
looks. “You can do a lot with that combination.”
It’s a lot to handle in a busy 10-12 hour day and Fable is
thankful for the support he has had in lighting the music
series. “There are a lot of challenges and pitfalls but I have
a really good crew that works well together,” he concludes.

The lighting design community soon
to meet at PLDC in Singapore:
“We like to move it!”

East meets west – technology meets design
– newcomers meet experienced specialists!
PLDC 2018 in Singapore is not only a further
step towards defining the profession and the
lighting design market today – PLDC 2018
is also an expression of a new movement
within the profession that we know to date.
There is a lot of talk of “nothing will ever be
the same as it was before”, but who really
knows what it is likely to turn out to be?
Debate is very wide-ranging and intense.
There are already some very clear
indications on the market as to where this
could be leading. Interdisciplinary structures
involving related disciplines could well be
one of the keys to success. And there are
two ways of realizing this: either lighting
designers take it upon themselves to pursue
training in all fields of practice that appear
to be relevant for state-of-the-art lighting
design, starting with urban planning, and
moving on to communication design, and
light and health, and gaining know-how and
expertise in the digital realm;

a second approach comprises rebuilding
the team that forms the basis of the design
practice, involving specialists from different
areas of expertise and with different skills,
or working in close cooperation with such
qualified experts.
But there is a further – and third – way of
approaching the forthcoming challenges and
being able to work successfully in future:
continuing professional development on
an individual basis and collaborating with
experts. Those who are prepared to rise to
both challenges, have an excellent chance
of realizing successful design solutions in
the future. These two components are what
it will take to make a real and responsible
change in society.

The PLDC organisers have all the papers
that will be presented at their disposal: “The
content is of exceptionally high quality and
provides many valuable pointers for the
future of lighting design and the market,”
Alison Ritter, member of the PLDC Steering
Committee comments. “There is a strong
awareness of the need for change – and
how to go about it.”

At PLDC 2018 in Singapore, the global
Continuing Professional Development
platform for lighting design will also be
presented for the very first time: PLDCPD.
The platform enables lighting designers at all
levels of their career to continue to expand
their knowledge and skills individually,
gaining confidence and recording evidence
of their learning progress, which in turn
can be regarded and acknowledged as
professional quality. The PLDCPD project
is backed by a Supervisory Board which
comprises experienced lighting designers,
educators and researchers as well as leaders
in the lighting industry.

PLDC 2018 in Singapore will give everyone
present the opportunity to mix and mingle,
listen and learn, discuss and debate – and
underscore their relationship to the lighting
design community and their role within it.

Girardin is best known for architectural installations made
up of hundreds or even thousands of individually crafted
pieces that come together in larger-than-life compositions.
Her work can be found around the world in luxury retail,
restaurant and hospitality spaces, for clients such as the
Four Seasons, Peninsula, Nobu and Harry W inston.
For this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HD Expo at Mandalay Bay, the artist unveils
a new original installation that will take the form of a lush
alcove. Bloom will be assembled exclusively for the event
using suspended glazed, unglazed and gold-lustre ceramic
botanicals set against a verdant backdrop. W ithin the
booth, visitors can also explore Girardinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smaller-scale
personal artworks. Each of her one-of-a-kind vases and

clay benches are wheel-thrown
and hand embellished in nuanced
brushstrokes whose colouration evokes
stone, water and sand’s rich tonalities.
Bloom serves as a counterpoint to another new work
from Girardin’s studio: Desert Breeze, on permanent
display in the lobby of Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas (first
floor of the Mandalay Bay Tower).
Here, Girardin has created the illusion of wildflowers set
adrift on a gentle wind, evoking the austere vegetation of
the Mojave Desert. Each of the nearly 500 flowers, petals
and leaves, which flow gracefully across the three walls
of the hotel’s grand staircase, was created by hand in
delicate white bone china so that no two pieces are alike.
Desert Breeze is destined to become a focal point for the
hotel and a timeless photographic backdrop from which to
capture guests’ milestones and celebrations.
About Pascale Girardin
Pascale Girardin is a Montreal artist who has contributed
to the dynamism of contemporary ceramics through her
large-scale architectural installations. Luxury, harmony and
balance are the quintessential qualities which define her
unique artworks. The exclusive spaces that she invests are
inspired by the expression of pure form and her creations
subtly highlight our essential relationship with the world
around us. Whether her works are suspended in midair, gracing a wall or floating in water, they always evoke
nature’s ubiquitous presence and organic structure.
Originally trained as a painter, Pascale Girardin’s interest
in both art and science led her to study biology (Université
de Montréal), design (Certificate in Digital Technologies,
Concordia University) and visual art (BFA in Studio Art,
Concordia University). It was only natural for such a
multifaceted personality to further pursue a Master of Fine
Arts (Maîtrise en arts visuels) at the Université du Québec à
Montréal, with the goal of enhancing her ability to conduct
thoughtful research and to continue nourishing her work.
Pascale Girardin’s inquisitive mind and relentless urge
to explore have driven her to develop a significant and
constantly evolving body of work. In the past few years,
she has broadened her practice with new materials such
as aluminum, cast resin, polycarbonate and wood. Not
least, in keeping with her belief that the art of life and the
life of art are inextricably linked, she has further expanded
her repertoire by designing and creating dishware for the
North American high-end restaurants J&G Grill, Nobu and
Toqué!
Pascale Girardin has gained international recognition for
her creation of unique artworks for high-end interior design
projects at such venues as Nobu Broadway Restaurant in
New York, Clement Restaurant in New York, Four Seasons
Private Residences in Pudong, Printemps Department
Store in Paris and Al Badia Golf Club in Dubai. She has
won numerous awards and distinctions for her work as a
visual artist and designer, including the Pierre-Pagé Prize
and repeated recognition from the Canada Arts Council.

The result of a multidisciplinary collaboration between architects and
engineers, FunambOule is a self-supporting footbridge spanning a
pedestrian portion of Saint-Catherine Street, in Montreal, Quebec.
Designed by Architecturama and Latéral, the footbridge allows
visitors a new vantage point where the famous multicoloured
suspended balls by Claude Cormier et Associés are at eye level.
FunambOule was conceived as a self-standing span that can be
disassembled and reassembled at a new location each year.
A Sensory Experience
Reminiscent of tightrope walkers, visitors float six metres above
Saint-Catherine Street, blending with the multicoloured plastic balls.
Walking on the open grating is akin to birds perching on a wire.
Visitors may even be able to experience the suspension bridge
effect and fall in love! (Capilano Suspension Bridge experiment
study, Donald Dutton and Arthur Aron, psychologists, 1974)
Creativity and Technical Know-how
Being a creative architectural installation as well as having an
inherently marked structural expression, FunambOule is the result
of a strong collaboration between architects and engineers.
Architecturama and Latéral worked jointly to define and optimize
the shape and architectural expression of the project, as well as
the overall constructability. Curved and lightweight steel trusses
are suspended from two independent towers. The curvature
of the trusses is the same as that of the suspended balls. The
steel members used were optimized for transport and ease of
manipulation—the entire construction being assembled like a giant
Mecano.

Architecture and Structure
Several major constraints needed to be considered during
design:
• The entire structure needed to be self-supporting.
Fixing into the road or sidewalk was not permitted.
Counterweights had to be used to resist wind and
earthquake conditions.
• The shape of the bridge deck need to follow the catenary
shape of the suspended balls. Enough clearance for a
firetruck was also required, as well as clear height and
dimensional requirements for the stairs and landings.
• FunambOule needed to be assembled and disassembled
easily. The structure is stored during the winter. The
footbridge was therefore designed as individual pieces
with specific dimensional and weight restrictions.
• Architectural expression: the goal was to create an
interesting, impressive and playful installation, that fits in
well with the ludic language of the multi-coloured balls.

A repetition of triangular shapes formed the basis for the structural
and architectural expression of the footbridge. Triangulation is a
simple and minimalist articulation while structurally effective. The
diagonals and horizontals for the guard and handrail were designed
as elegant thin tubular steel elements. For structural minimalism, the
handrail acts as a horizontal truss. The steel elements that makeup the footbridge all act together as a coherent whole, combining
architectural expression, structural efficiency and constructability.
FunambOule is a finalist for the 2017 Awards for Excellence of the
Canadian Institute for Steel Construction.
About Architecturama
Architecturama is an architectural firm. In their buildings,
Architecturama is concerned with the way spaces are occupied and
perceived, a concern that is not confined to visual perception, but to
all senses, and takes into account phenomena influencing physical
and psychological comfort.
Through installations, they study concretely the architectural notions
of perception, materiality, movement, memory, meaning, spatiality,
etc. Their projects explore the affinities between art and architecture.
Architecturama develops an award-winning, award-winning
practice and recently won an Award of Merit at the AZ Awards and
two honourable mentions at the American Architecture Prize and
was a finalist at the Prix d’Excellence of the Ordre des architectes
du Québec. Two of their recent projects have won Best of Canada
Design Competition awards. They were selected in 2014 for a
research residency where they designed 5 temporary installations in
situ in the south of France.

The Idea
Since 2012, Lucion Media works with light and shadow
theatres hosted into vinyl spheres: an installation called
moonGARDEN. Since its creation, more than one million
people have been amazed by its luminous shadows. From
here came the idea to take them outside of the spheres,
expose them upon light, ally them to LED lighting and
micro-mapping and tell a good story.

Shadow Play
Shadow Play premiered at the Shanghai Museum of
Modern Art on January 25, 2018. For this representation,
Lucion Media reproduced the city of Shanghai with its
parks, its bridge and its buildings. Nevertheless, this
installation is completely customizable. It is also possible
to create a glass brand, Harry Potter or a natural park
universe. It served as a sample of interactive volumetric
cinema technology and it was meant to show how it could
transform a garden, a lobby, a public space into a story.

A Dual Organization
The show lasts 5 minutes and is followed by the interactive
20 minutes scene. The volumetric decor turns into a giant
interactive shadow garden where people are using the light
of their mobile phones to reactivate a few moments of the
movie and to discover the city noises. These two parts
allow to reach a wider audience, from the most thoughtful
to the most active.

The Story
At night, an artist living in Shanghai
takes the subway back home. Finally
arrived, he hurries upstairs, changes
clothes, grabs a pair of scissors and
starts cutting up paper frantically.
What is he doing? He is shaping tiny
paper characters. Once complete, he
places them onto the set and their
shadow comes alive. They run, they
heckle, they climb onto buildings, they
take over a city—a fantastic forbidden
playground.
A knock on the door interrupts their
euphoria. They freeze. The owner is
screaming from the other side of the
door. He is here to collect the artist’s
rent. The moment he is gone, joyful
bliss seizes them again. They grab the
artist’s paint pots and pour them all
over the city.

About Lucion

Storeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Field Centre
London, United Kingdom
32

special feature

Sound Space Vision (SSV) lived up to its highly-respected
name when its team of acousticians and theatre planners
worked as consultants with architects, MUMA, to provide
an elegant, innovative and sustainable community space
in their vision for Storey’s Field Centre at Eddington, on
the University of Cambridge’s North West Cambridge
Development.
Storey’s Field Centre is the dynamic and welcoming hub
of the community of Eddington, a new neighbourhood
under construction as part of the North West Cambridge
Development. The Centre is a civic building in the heart
of the new development and encompasses meeting
rooms and a large multi-purpose hall for exercise classes,
lectures, music of all genres, local festivities and events
alongside a nursery.

SSV joined the project to support the range of uses both
in the acoustical design and the noise isolation and the
activity-led design and specification of the technical fit-out
of the building.
MUMA designed the main hall with a high level of design
and finish, and SSV created several bespoke technical
solutions to optimise the hall and contribute to its overall
aesthetic. At once dramatic and pragmatic, the hall is the
Centre’s primary public space, holding up to 275 standing
and 180 seated.
Given the hall’s rectangular shape and the Centre’s
mandate for a varied and active schedule, SSV envisioned
a space that was adaptable, flexible, and, crucially, easy to
operate by its users. It is a stylish, light-filled, three-storey

33

special feature

34

special feature

space with refined acoustics and
production fittings and fixtures that
are well-detailed, discreet, adaptable
and hidden within the architecture.
SSV began with the staging potential
by specifying technical and production
equipment as well as adaptable
acoustics to facilitate multiple seating
and staging formations. A combination
of LED and tungsten lighting was
chosen to provide lighting angles
for any stage configuration, and is
integrated on motorised bars which
also include house lights and moving
lights for special events.
Unusually, the main hall has daylight
on all four sides with views to a
garden and high-level windows on
the remaining three sides. This gives
an ever-changing atmosphere to
the space. The intricate brickwork
modelled on the walls is an elegant
solution for satisfying sound diffusion,
while reviving a well-loved and
underused craft. From a production
design standpoint, the hall’s neutral
colour palette is easily transformed by
coloured and varied lighting.
The
main
hall
benefits
from
several bespoke features including
individually-sized acoustic banners
created for SSV by a specialist
manufacturer, and a one-of-a-kind
solution for opening and closing them
allows the bottom third banners to
move up, and the upper third to move
down. Irregularly-spaced timber ‘fins’
extend to and across the ceiling serve
to diffuse the daylight and sound in
the room as well as hide the lighting
positions and banners. There are two
production consoles – one located
on the floor level cleverly concealed
in a cupboard, the other built into
a specially-designed desk in the
balcony which runs across the hall’s
main entrance. The large projector is
hidden on a small lift that vanishes
into the ceiling when not in use.
The University's brief for the Centre
included high performance qualities
for the main hall, with a requirement
for the acoustics to accommodate a
variety of events from chamber music
to rock concerts. SSV designed a
space with an acoustic flexibility that
spans every requirement from very
dry, clear sound to live, resonant
acoustics, with architectural and
design features that double as sound
dispersive, absorptive or isolation
solutions. For amplification, SSV
chose to use three beam-steering

column array loudspeakers which have substantial output over a wide frequency
range, and are ideal for a space of this scale.
Using passive air ventilation, the entire hall sits between two labyrinths made
of sound-absorbing baffles which act as natural ventilators with air flowing in
from a ‘sunhole’ in the adjacent walled garden through the basement plenum
and flowing out through the attic. Given the natural ventilation, fans are not
required, which in turn means no noise in the hall and no maintenance required,
simultaneously satisfying acoustical and sustainability goals, while reducing the
Centre’s overall costs.

“Our vision at SSV is to complement the architecture of

a space, and to give clients a very high level of design,
finish, and functionality at the lowest possible cost –
usually well beyond their expectations.”
Anne Minors, Design Principal, Sound Space Vision
The two smaller multipurpose spaces in the Centre – one 20-seat, and one
50-seat space – used primarily for meetings, gatherings and classes both have
full-screen projectors and screens, stereo sound systems, acoustic curtains,
control racks and facilities panels, and are fitted with the links for inter-room
connectivity.
Across the entire Centre sound isolation is achieved with multi-layer windows,
doors and vestibules that prevent outside noise from entering activities in the
rooms, while ensuring neighbouring residents are not disturbed from the noise
levels within the building.
MUMA with SSV assistance have demonstrated that architecture, inclusive and
encompassing of exceptional theatre planning and acoustics consultation, can
elevate a building beyond its original, perhaps more modest, intentions.
In Storey’s Field Centre, the SSV team have achieved a venue which embraces
its multi-functional and diverse purpose, fulfils its responsibility to sustainable
building practices, and provides a desired and worthy destination for educators,
artists and residents, and a warm, inviting and supportive environment for its
new community.

The
Renaissance
Man
Surrey, Canada
36

special feature

“The Leonardo 1482 is like
nothing ever seen. It very much
reflects the Renaissance era,
but uses technology that wasn’t
in existence even a few years
ago.

If the Renaissance Man were alive today, how would he use his
body of work to design a lighting collection? This is the inspiration
for Maurice Dery’s latest avant-garde luminaire series.

The same way Da Vinci used
magnifiers and mirrors to
project candlelight, we’re
projecting energy-efficient LED
light through a magnifier, onto
a mirror, and then transferred
onto a wall (or the ceiling or
floor). The methodology is
identical. The technology?
500 years apart.”

In the fashion of Leonardo da Vinci, the theme revolves around
machine gears, along with magnifiers that are used to intensify
the light sources to mirrors, that can then redirect the light to the
wall or floor. Using the latest in lighting, machining, and metalwork
technology, the Karice’s Da Vinci collection brings the Italian
Renaissance back to life, in avant-garde form.

Maurice Dery, Designer

The Da Vinci collection is inspired by one question: If Leonardo, the
great Renaissancian, were alive today, how would he incorporate
21st-century technology into his designs? Over the last ten
months, this has been Karice’s inspiration and guide in creating this
handcrafted luminaire series.

The light was designed, developed, and manufactured in Surrey,
BC by the father-son design team at Karice Enterprises: Maurice
and Jordan Dery.
Design Story
Finding Leonardo in the 21st century
The Da Vinci collection is based on the challenging premise of
using modern technology to create an original avant-garde suite of
luminaire pieces that accurately portray the spirit of what Leonardo
was doing in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Specifically, the
objective was to reflect the mechanics of Da Vinci, and to reflect his
approach in magnifying and projecting light.
Unlike anything Maurice Dery and his award-winning team at
Karice have created in the past, the Da Vinci collection demanded
a reverence for history, and a resurrection of centuries-old lighting
methodology.

“I have a mind for innovative,
efficient engineering. For
decades, that’s what people
have come to me for. But at
heart, I am a traditionalist.
I have great respect for the
past and for the classics. I
believe this is what we see
when we study the life of
Leonardo da Vinci. He wasn’t
only a forward-thinker. He
also had a firm handle on
the past, which is why he
was so effective in helping
bridge the gap between
the Medieval and Industrial
worlds.”
Maurice Dery, Designer

The task was not easy. Karice has taken on many “impossible”
projects, but epic pieces like the Sprocket, for example, were
purely from the heart of Maurice. But with this series, Maurice was
searching for what inspired Da Vinci alone.
The Collection: Honouring A Lifetime Of Ingenuity
Honouring the Renaissancian tradition required months of
historical research. This was followed by extensive prototyping and
development, beginning with the design and experimentation of
the intricate gear components that form the core aesthetic of the
collection’s feature piece, the Leonardo 1482.
The Leonardo 1482 poetically resembles a rising sun, borrowing
heavily from Renaissance-era mechanics, and is appropriately
named for the year Leonardo da Vinci began designing and
developing his inventions.
The Vitruvian Table Lamp complements the 1482, with correlating
expression. In honour of Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, the Table Lamp
speaks to the geometric purity and deconstructed anatomy this
series reveals.
To complete the collection, the Infinity 1519 is an avant-garde
luminaire symbolizing a setting sun, as 1519 was the year Leonardo
da Vinci passed away. The ringed capsule has a seemingly endless
horizon, so the sightline is infinite. It can be displayed as a hanging
pendant or suspended within a half-moon table lamp.
Together, the corresponding pieces honour the story of history’s
greatest designer: A mechanically-minded, artisan inventor—
Leonardo da Vinci.
About Karice
Bringing even the most ambitious vision to light, British Columbiabased Karice Enterprises has enormous passion for creating
beautiful lighting products, pushing creative boundaries to craft
the unimaginable with their cutting-edge, custom lights. Founder,
Maurice Laurent Dery believes aesthetic beauty is the by-product
of intelligent design and dreaming up what has never been done
before is just a part of daily life at Karice. Following a minimalist
approach, Karice strives to refine their products to be as simple and
efficient as possible. Each piece follows this passion for doing the
seemingly “impossible”, and reflects a creative, practical solution to
a complicated design challenge.
While their focus is collaboration on custom projects, in 2014
Karice began designing their own product line and now carry
30 unique products designed and manufactured at their plant in
Surrey, Canada. Their recent lighting fixture releases are the result
of new innovative designs curated by lighting designer Maurice
Laurent Dery. What sets Karice apart from the competition is their
state-of-the-art lighting and metal work facility. This allows them to
specialize in artisan manufacturing; making prototypes, drawings,

Permasteelisa
O

nce again Permasteelisa brings “Made in Italy” to London with an
ambitious project, “Battersea Phase 3A”, part of the bigger transformation
of Battersea Power Station. The contract, worth more than 70 million
euros, involves the design, supply and installation of more than 27,000 sqm of
extremely complex façade that will define the buildings designed by the Gehry
Partners architectural firm.
Inspired by London’s typical regency style, the façade has been designed to take
full advantage of the brightness of the buildings, thanks to the special undulating
shape created by the protruding and receding volumes of winter gardens and
terraces. The choice to use white aluminum panels for the façade allows filling
the common areas between the buildings with a warm and enveloping light
coming from the sun’s rays reflecting on the façade. Finally, its undulating shape
evokes the flowing sails of ships that has inspired many of Frank Gehry’s works,
the most important of which is perhaps the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which was
also created by Permasteelisa.
“We are proud to continue our long collaboration with Frank Gehry,” said the
CEO of the Permasteelisa Group, Riccardo Mollo, “demonstrating once again our
ability to turn the ideas of the most visionary architects into reality by applying
innovative technologies that also allow us to uphold the highest standards in
environmental sustainability.”
Permasteelisa has put in place its know-how and expertise to fully satisfy all
the architectural and performance specifications that characterize this project,
confirming once again the company's proven experience in transforming even
the most complex architectures into reality, through the advanced engineering
of forms .
Battersea Phase 3A represented a great challenge for Permasteelisa’s designers
and engineers, in particular:
1. The project aims to achieve the BREEAM “Excellent” certification, so the visible
panels are equipped with low-E coated, extra-clear glass with high thermal and
solar performance to maximise the light coming in, while preserving energy
savings;
2. The innovative design has required the engineering and production of 2,900
units, with aluminium profile equipped with double-glazed or opaque infill, all
different from each other and openable both with a folding or sliding panel;
3. The undulating shape of the façade required about 3,000 aluminium closed
infill “boxes”, characterised by a unique and non-repetitive, customised shape.
These boxes create the undulating and sinuous shape desired by the Architect.
The design and production of the façade will take about 18 months, and will
involve about 70 professionals from the technical office in Italy, for a total of
about 600 drawings and numerous 3D studies. The installation of the first panel
is planned for the second quarter of 2019, and the installation will take about
one and a half years.
Logistics will play a fundamental role. In fact, the construction site is hard to
access and is also very “crowded” due to a number of buildings being constructed
at the same time.
Situated along the south bank of the River Thames, Battersea Power Station was

Speyside, Scotland

cover story

S

peirs + Major have unveiled their lighting design for The
Macallan's new distillery and visitor experience on the
Easter Elchies estate, Speyside, North East Scotland.

The design references the dynamic light qualities found
in the local landscape and the world's leading single malt
whisky that is produced on the site, while shaping a unique
experience of the complex distilling process at the heart of
the brand. Speirs + Major bring their extensive experience
in illuminating a wide range of architectural settings to
this project and have collaborated closely with the client,
Edrington, to create an engaging atmospheric design that
encapsulates the spirit of The Macallan.

cover story

The design uses a balance of light and
darkness to:
Create A Sense Of Theatre
The ability of light to transform our
perception of scale and space is
expertly employed, building a sense
of revelation into the visitor journey.
From the dramatic first glimpse of the
illuminated undulating roofline and the
mirrored reflection of trees and path
lights, light itself leads the way into and
through the visitor experience. Inside,
skilled choreography of the lit effect
creates layering and depth. Light is
used to celebrate the impressive scale
and unique form of the architecture,
while simultaneously evoking the subtle
alchemy within the pipes and distilling
equipment. The experience culminates
with a spectacular immersive experience
in the Cave Privée – a unique circular
whisky store – where programmable
dynamic light combines with black
polished surfaces to create stunning
kaleidoscopic effects.
Showcase The Product
The magical play of light on liquid and
glass is used to reveal the true colours
of The Macallan. Different qualities
of light are deployed throughout the
bar and visitor experience, alluding
to the breadth of tasting notes that
characterise The Macallan.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Providing the flexibility, by day
and after dark, not only to support
the visitor experience but also the
operational requirements of a working
distillery presented a significant
challenge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but one that we found both
exciting and inspiring. The vision for
the project afforded us a remarkable
creative opportunity.
We carefully crafted the balance of
light, darkness, colour and texture not
only to respond to the narrative of the
project but also to the special quality of
the natural light and the way it reveals
the whisky-making process and the
architecture in its landscape setting.

“

It has been a unique and exciting
project to work on given not only
the impressive architectural
design but also the beauty of the
objects within it.
Working with The Macallan and
their design team to explore how
light can be used to reveal the
narrative of their product, as well
as to enhance the architecture
itself, has enabled the lighting to
become an inherent part of the
whisky experience.
The Macallan's passion for
creating something really special
has allowed us to choreograph
an experience that is truly
unprecedented, and it has been
so rewarding to see how positive
their response has been.

Associate Partner, Speirs + Major

Light reveals the depth and purity of the liquid when nosing,
and backlit bottles glow jewel-like against dark backgrounds
to entice customers. A soaring brand wall made of hundreds
of bottles forms a dynamic tapestry of light, glass and
liquid, in dramatic contrast to the quiet shadows of the bar
where customers can experience the quiet pleasure of an
exceptional dram.
Support The Brand Story
The Macallan combines tradition and a commitment to quality,
while embracing innovation. The lighting design draws on this
dialectic to generate a strong sense of narrative through the
revelation of surfaces, textures and space. Within the main
production facilities, light highlights the sculptural forms and
characteristic materials of the process equipment. Colour
provides visual cues; cool blue for the stainless steel cold
process equipment, and amber red hues for the hot copper
stills.
Programmed scenes enable a strong focus on a single entity,
or a full revelation of the space. Lighting cues allow these
scenes to evolve over the course of a tour, to support and
enhance the telling of the whisky-making story. Working
closely with the exhibition designers, light is meticulously
integrated into the experience of each display: from backlit
text, to orchestrated shafts of ‘sunlight’, to an illuminated
single drop of liquid.
In parallel to this creative and dramatic light, simple efficient
operational light is added as a layer within the design. This
light accommodates the stringent working requirements of
the facility, without compromising the visual impact of the
visitor experience.
The distillery designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners
(RSHP) – and the associated visitor experience designed by
Atelier Brückner – are scheduled to open to the public in the
summer of 2018.

Mannheim Business School
Baden-WĂźrttemberg, Germany

O

pened in October last year, the study and conference
centre in the western courtyard of the Mannheim
Palace has quickly become the new architectural
centrepiece of the Mannheim Business School. A disused
boiler room and the adjoining coal cellar have been
completely rebuilt to create the new lecture theatre
complex. Arranged behind an expansive glass faĂ§ade
that looks out onto the gardens behind the west wing of
the palace, the study and conference centre incorporates
two semi-circular lecture theatres, a flexible conference
area, ten seminar rooms and a spacious barrier-free foyer.
The lighting solution had to satisfy a series of special
requirements. The new installation needed to provide
uniform illumination of the arched and shell-shaped
ceiling in the lecture theatres, while also meeting all
the relevant standards and delivering glare-free light
throughout the centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ready for a future in which
paper is completely replaced by touchscreens. Zumtobel
solved these varied challenges with the help of a new
calculation method, using the HiLite programme to
precisely calculate the reflections of the vaulted ceiling.
The multifunctional SUPERSYSTEM II lighting tool from
Zumtobel proved to be the ideal solution, incorporating
an oval-outline film with a ver y narrow distribution to
gently illuminate the concave-shaped ceiling.
Each LED spotlight from the SUPERSYSTEM II maxi range
was then carefully positioned and directed in line with a
detailed set of calculations. Zumtobel chose a solution
for the foyer that simultaneously reflects the historical
background of the building and creates a transition into
the old palace. The vaults in the former kitchen now

benefit from the soft and uniform light of the CRAFT S
high-bay LED luminaire. This small industrial fitting with
big per formance blends high resistance, maintenancefree operation and low energy requirements over a long
service life.
The compact high-bays are installed as direct uplights
to illuminate the vaulted ceiling in a balanced way
with minimal shadowing, generating a brilliant lighting
atmosphere in the entrance area. Seite 2 / 4 A special
version of the frameless Zumtobel PANOS evolution
LED recessed downlight with a concrete inlay has
been developed for the ceilings in the corridors. Great
care was taken to achieve a clean transition between
the luminaire and the acoustically effective ceiling by
integrating the plaster ring into the concrete housing.
The PANOS downlight series is characterised by high
luminaire efficiency and power ful lumen packages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for
the very best lighting quality.

Modern City of Light
Frankfurt, Germany

I

n March 2018, at the Light +
Building Fair in Frankfurt, Germany,
Louis Poulsen will welcome visitors
into a uniquely Scandinavian urban
environment shaped, above all, by
light. Designed by the renowned
architectural firm Henning Larsen,
the life-size model of a modern city
will showcase how the integration
of indoor and outdoor light as an
essential component of architecture
enhances the urban experience.
The space will present Louis Poulsen’s
newest indoor and outdoor lighting
designs – including the LP Capsule
post top by Henning Larsen and the
new Ripls and LP Slim Round fixtures
– as well as exciting new autumn
2018 releases. Titled Humans, Light,
Rhythm, the stand design explores
the role of light in diverse urban
environments, from city parks and
streets to homes and workspaces.
Henning Larsen – a firm well-known
for creating innovative relationships
between space and light – found a
mesmerising way to bring visitors’
attention to urban illumination. The
flow of light through the mini-city
is controlled in part by per forated
steel walls on many of the cube-

shaped buildings. Light channels
freely through these openings
and lands in changing patterns on
surrounding sur faces, mimicking the
dynamic effect of city windows at
night – and encouraging people to
reflect on how light affects everyday
experiences.
Louis Poulsen + Henning Larsen: A
Union Of Two Bright, Scandinavian
Legacies
Humans, Light, Rhythm brings
together two major Danish design
players with common values and a
shared focus on lighting innovation.
Louis Poulsen first established
its reputation with the ingenious
work of visionary lighting designer
Poul Henningsen. Similarly, the
architectural firm Henning Larsen
was founded by legendar y Danish
architect Henning Larsen, known for
making light to the essence of his
architecture.
Echoing the principles at the heart
of Louis Poulsen’s work, Signe
Blomquist, Design Lead and Project
Manager at Henning Larsen, says,
“Our architectural process is rooted
in the question of how we can shape
room and space with light. Based

55

spatial envelopes

56

spatial envelopes

on our research we know daylight has a huge effect on
people’s wellbeing, therefore daylight is an essential part
of our design.”
A shared Nordic aesthetic and design philosophy also
contributed to the process of presenting a unified vision
of the ideal urban space. Louis Poulsen CEO Søren Mygind
Eskildsen says: “Both Louis Poulsen’s and Henning Larsen’s
work is rooted in the philosophy that form should follow
function – and all elements of our design bear the touch
of Scandinavian simplicity. Together, we ver y much look
for ward to inviting visitors to examine how thoughtful
illumination can enhance the way we live today.”
Humans, Light, Rhythm demonstrates the extent to
which we can shape our physical environment and the
ambience of our surroundings with light. The stand
offers a vision of safer public spaces, and presents a
case for more human-centred indoor design for better
working and living.
The concept’s ultimate goal: to offer solutions that make
people feel good anywhere in the city.

Oscar Nyström is a world renowned
lighting designer with over 25 years of
experience within the field of light. His
project references cover three continents
and he has designed lighting for
everything from public buildings, offices
and gardens to luxury hotels, palaces,
restaurants and private residences.

he five-star Grand Hôtel in
Stockholm is one of Scandinavia’s
most renowned luxur y hotels.
Since it opened its doors in 1874,
it has been host to many Nobel
laureates, royalty and celebrities. Its
spectacular festivity hall, the Winter
Garden, is a high-ceilinged, glass
topped space with balconies and
pillars reminiscent of a grand Italian
piazza, and is booked year round for
various events.
To match the wide-ranging lighting
needs of the modern day, ÅF
Lighting was asked to design a
versatile new lighting solution
- naturally, while respecting the
heritage of the historic building. The
19th centur y venue has now been
stripped of its previous electrical
fixtures and instead provided with
a modern lighting solution where
even the antique luminaires have
been updated to LED.
ÅF Lighting has designed all the
different types of lighting for the
Winter Garden – the overall lighting,

the highlighting of architectural features, and the stage
and event lighting. The result is a versatile and efficient
system with numerous luminaires, seamlessly integrated
into the historic interior. Its many classical architectural
details, such as arches, pillars and balustrades, have all
been highlighted, without the use of visible fixtures.
The new lighting can be customized for any occasion.
For instance, for a sophisticated relaxed atmosphere, the
room can be lit with a warm white light, or in cooler
shades for a sense of Swedish winter.
- We wanted to create something truly unique - a solution
worthy of such an iconic building. With a generous
budget and an open-minded client, we managed to push
further than ever before, says project leader and chief
lighting designer Oscar NystrĂśm.
Video mapping is used to great effect in the Winter
Garden. Together with interactive video technique
specialists 3dsense, Ă&#x2026;F Lighting has developed eight
scenarios that can be projected three dimensionally onto
all the walls. Four architectural worlds - allowing visitors
to experience a jungle, the Swedish archipelago, an
Italian piazza or a winter wonderland - and four abstract
scenarios, all with matching audio atmosphere.

area.

F Lighting has designed the lighting for all parts
of Aloud’s new showroom in central Stockholm.
It includes the entrance, exhibition area, reception,
conference room and the office space.
Aloud’s Showroom is a groundbreaking project and
shows brand new potential in integrating functional
and aesthetic interior lighting. With a visionar y approach
to technical solutions and control systems, ÅF Lighting
has created an all-inclusive lighting solution that can be
customized to any occasion.

Kai Piippo is a Stockholm based award
winning lighting designer and Head of
Design at ÅF Lighting. Kai Piippo is well
renowned throughout Scandinavia and
the world, and has extensive experience
of lighting design. He has an exceptional
ability to create strong lighting design
concepts and communicate them to all
stakeholders, ensuring that joint visions
are realized.

Aloud wanted an integrated lighting design system out of
the ordinar y in order to best present their smart homes.
Thus, ÅF Lighting was asked to design an exclusive interior
lighting solution with endless possibilities together
with the architects and Aloud. In close collaboration
ÅF Lighting custom-made an innovative and creative
solution to meet the high demands for the lighting. The
goal was to create an invisibly integrated lighting design
that would work well with Aloud's technical solutions
and systems.
The lighting is designed to show off the amazing
possibilities that can be created by combining advanced
technology with aesthetic lighting. Several light
scenarios have been developed and can be controlled
through an iPad, an app or through voice recognition.
All scenarios can completely change the expression and
feeling in the room.

67

spatial envelopes
The lighting is flexible and functional
and enhances the interior design
and architecture in a stylish and
efficient manner.
Custom-made LEDs have been
carefully integrated along the floor
frames, ceilings, walls, windows,
bookshelves and in all displays. In
order to truly show the breadth of
Aloudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical range, 20 different
scenarios have been created, giving
the room a variety of moods and
expressions with the possibility
to change over the course of the
day and stimulate our circadian
biological rhythm.
Since all lighting is tunable white
and RGB, brightness and color
can be controlled manually. The
many textiles in the room can
be illuminated accordingly from
glittering silver to shimmering gold.
The walls and floors can thus change
color from cold blue tones to flaming
red and everything in between.
In the center of the exhibition section
is a custom made light installation in
the form of a thin fabric cloth. The
pillar is illuminated with down lights
in the form of linear narrow-beam
luminaires attached to the fabric.

68

This gives the interior an exclusive finish that blends well with the rest of
the interior.
Throughout the process, Ă&#x2026;F Lighting created several prototypes to reach the
desired result in collaboration with Aloud, the architects and the technical
specialists, to find the best suited solution.
All possible lighting techniques and control systems have been developed
in collaboration with Aloud. The systems that control all lighting and
technology are designed by Aloud specifically for this purpose. The control
system is custom-made and unique in its ability to control as many zones at
the same time. The mixture of Crestron, Lutron, Dali, DMX, 0-10V provides
endless possibilities.
